You all are legal heirs including your step mother and step sister.
So send the landlord legal notice claiming your share in the tenancy rights.
If landlord ignores your claim file a suit for declaration and injunction.
All the best.

Hi, all 4 of you have equal rights and there is no hierarchy.
1) On your father demise you , your sister , your step mother would be rhe legal heirs
2) . Upon death of the tenant those who were residing with the deceased tenant will be entitled to the tenancy right.
3) for redevelopment of property landlord would need consent of all the tenants of the building
Check there is any lease agreement is created in favour of step mother after the death of father.If not, all the legal heirs - blood Sister, Step mother, half blood sister and you have equal rights in lease hold property.
You can claim your share in the tenancy rights after your father’s demise. Send a legal notice to landlord with regards to your claim over the property
all the 4 legal heirs residing with your father in tenanted flat would have equal shares in the said flat
Yes
Polygamy is not permitted among Hindus. Unless your father had obtained divorce from his first wife he could not have married again. So if he had not obtained divorce from your mother then he could not marry your step mother. Your step mother is not the heir of your father if the latter did not obtain divorce from his first wife, but your sister has an equal share in the property of your father. The heirs are you, your sister and step sister.
Presently you, your step mother, blood sister and half sister are the legal heirs to your deceased father (tenant). If your step mother tries to grab the entire property by herself, you may raise an objection to the landlord in writing and also issue a legal notice to him if he is not obliging to your objections.
